Call it
Media models run asynchronously. Create a task, poll it until it finishes, then download the signed asset URL.
# 1. Create the job. 202 Accepted; the body carries the task id,
# the pre-charged price, and a poll_url. Reuse one Idempotency-Key
# across retries so a timeout never starts a second paid job.

How do I call Nano Banana 2 Lite on OmniaKey?
POST to /v1/media/tasks with the model id, type "image", and operation "generate" or "edit". Reuse one Idempotency-Key across retries so a timeout never starts a second paid job.
What does Nano Banana 2 Lite cost?
Nano Banana 2 Lite bills $0.019 per call. Creation pre-charges that amount from your prepaid balance, and failed or canceled jobs are refunded automatically.
Why does the API return a task id instead of the image?
Provider latency runs from seconds to about a minute, so OmniaKey normalizes every image route into one asynchronous lifecycle. Poll GET /v1/media/tasks/{id} until the status is succeeded, then read the signed asset URL.
